AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2) is proving to be a game-changer, especially for handheld devices like the Legion Go. Armed with the AMD Ryzen Z1 processor and Radeon 700M graphics, the Legion Go is an ideal platform for this frame generation technology.

Early reports from users suggest a seamless implementation of AFMF 2 on the Legion Go. One enthusiast shared, “No fiddling or anything just installed the 780m drivers and adrenaline, put on AFMF2 full-screen game and it worked right away.” This simplicity is a testament to AMD’s efforts in optimizing the technology for various hardware configurations.

AFMF 2’s ability to generate additional frames while retaining image quality has the potential to significantly improve the gaming experience on handheld devices that can’t pack the same punch as your high-end gaming PC. Especially with alternatives like Nvidia’s DLSS 3 still locked to 40 series GPUs.

As more users get their hands on the Legion Go and experiment with AFMF 2 frame gen, we can expect to see a growing body of feedback and comparisons. This will undoubtedly help refine the technology and ensure it delivers the best possible results for gamers.

ROG Ally next?

With the ROG Ally sharing the same AMD Ryzen Z1 processor and Radeon 700M graphics with the Legion Go, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets AFMF 2 up on running on ASUS’s popular handheld gaming device. Given the positive reception of AFMF 2 on the Legion Go, expectations are high for a similar performance boost on the ROG Ally. Gamers can anticipate smoother gameplay, reduced input lag, and enhanced visual fidelity, further solidifying the ROG Ally’s position in the market.
